Histology

Roundish nodules of capillaries, partially solid, forming so called “cannonballs” within the dermis. On the periphery there are slit-like blood vessels and. CD31 and ASMA (marker for pericytes) are positive. No inflammatory infiltrate, no cellular atypia, thromboses nor deposits of hemosiderin. The infiltration is limited to the dermis.
